The enduring beauty of steel bridges is eloquent tribute to the vision and skill of the men who plan, design and build them. The bridge designer of today is both artist and engineer. He understands the potential for strength and beauty which is inherent in steel structures, and he knows that aesthetic appearance can be achieved at no sacrifice 01 efficiency or economy. The simple grace of a highway overpass, no less than the majestic sweep of a river crossing, reflects a creative integration of structure, function and form, skillfully executed in beautiful bridges of steel.
To promote a more widespread appreciation of the aesthetics of steel bridges and to honor the architectural excellence of modern bridge design, the American Institute of Steel Construction sponsors an annual Prize Bridge Competition. Each year a distinguished Jury of Awards composed of leading educators, archi tects, and engineers, selects the steel bridges which it judges to be the most beautiful of those opened to traffic in the United States during the previous year.
To establish an equitable basis for competition, awards are made in each of several contest classifications. Size, cost and operating conditions determine the class in which each entry is eligible to compete. The prize winning bridges are marked with a stainless steel plaque, and the designers, owners and steel fabricators are awarded engraved certificates in recognition of their contribution and achievement.
The American Institute of Steel Construction sponsors this competition and awards the prizes in the belief that it is helping to render a public service by stimulating a lasting interest in improved bridge design.
